Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1251-c. 1262 on the basis of inspeximus, charters and letters patent that date to this period granted to York. However, none of these seems to exactly fit the requests made in the petition, a letters patent of 1262 perhaps fitting best with reference to requests 2) and 5) (CChR 1300-26, pp.185-7).
